摘要
Forensic linguistics, which is the interface between language and law, is a newly emerging interdiscipline in China. It belongs to neither the science of law nor the pure research category of linguistics, but it is an interdisciplinary subject based on these two disciplines. The linguistic issue in legal field is its key problem. At present, forensic linguistics in present China lays emphasis on written language instead of spoken language. This article gives a brief comparative analysis of Chinese and English forensic lexicon and the similarity of English and Chinese forensic lexicon. It also suggests that learners should view the differences between the two from the cultural perspective.
